The proxy's `_spawn_broker_if_needed` checks `socket_path.exists()` and skips spawning if the socket file is present — even if no process is listening. This silently blocks all future broker mode sessions until the user manually deletes the files. Fix by validating socket liveness via `connect()` before concluding a broker is running: if `connect()` fails with `ConnectionRefusedError`, treat both files as stale, remove them, and proceed with spawn. Also clean up socket file on daemon exit via `atexit`/signal handler. +- **Priority:** P0 +- **Dependencies:** none +- **Parallelizable:** yes +- **Outputs/Artifacts:** + - `src/mcpbridge_wrapper/broker/proxy.py` — liveness check in `_spawn_broker_if_needed` + - `src/mcpbridge_wrapper/broker/daemon.py` — socket cleanup on exit +- **Acceptance Criteria:** + - [ ] After broker crash, next `--broker-spawn` (or `--broker`) session auto-recovers without manual file removal + - [ ] Liveness check uses `connect()` not `exists()` + - [ ] Daemon removes `broker.sock` on clean exit and on SIGTERM + - [ ] All existing broker tests pass + +#### ⬜️ P2-T3: Fix double-spawn race condition when MCP client toggles rapidly +- **Description:** When an MCP client (e.g. Zed) toggles the connection off/on quickly, two proxy processes start simultaneously. Both check for a running broker, find none, and both spawn a daemon. Two competing daemons fight over the socket path: one wins, the other crashes. The losing proxy's client gets no broker and shows 0 tools. Fix with a filesystem lock (e.g. `fcntl.flock` on the PID file) so only one spawn attempt proceeds at a time; the second waiter detects the winner's daemon and connects. +- **Priority:** P1 +- **Dependencies:** P2-T2 +- **Parallelizable:** yes +- **Outputs/Artifacts:** + - `src/mcpbridge_wrapper/broker/proxy.py` — spawn lock in `_spawn_broker_if_needed` +- **Acceptance Criteria:** + - [ ] Rapid double-toggle produces exactly one broker daemon, both proxy sessions connect successfully + - [ ] Lock is released on proxy exit (including crash) + - [ ] All existing broker tests pass + +#### ⬜️ P2-T4: Surface broker unavailability as JSON-RPC error instead of silent timeout +- **Description:** When the proxy cannot connect to the broker (stale socket, spawn failed, daemon crashed mid-session), the client receives no response and eventually times out — showing "0 tools" or a generic connection error with no actionable message. Instead, the proxy should return a JSON-RPC error response (e.g. code `-32001`, message `"Broker unavailable: "`) so MCP clients can surface a meaningful error to the user rather than silently hanging. +- **Priority:** P1 +- **Dependencies:** none +- **Parallelizable:** yes +- **Outputs/Artifacts:** + - `src/mcpbridge_wrapper/broker/proxy.py` — error response on connect failure +- **Acceptance Criteria:** + - [ ] Connection timeout produces a JSON-RPC `-32001` error response to the client + - [ ] Error message includes a human-readable reason (timeout, refused, stale socket) + - [ ] Client does not hang indefinitely — error is returned within `connect_timeout` seconds + +#### ⬜️ P2-T5: Warn or restart daemon when --web-ui requested but running broker lacks it +- **Description:** When a user configures `--broker-spawn --web-ui` and a broker daemon is already running without the web UI, the proxy connects silently and the `--web-ui` flag has no effect. The user sees 0 web UI and no explanation. Fix by detecting the mismatch: if the proxy is asked for web UI but the running daemon does not expose a web UI port (detectable via a broker status endpoint or absence of HTTP response on the expected port), emit a clear warning to stderr: `"Warning: broker is running without --web-ui. Restart the broker to enable the dashboard."`. +- **Priority:** P2 +- **Dependencies:** none +- **Parallelizable:** yes +- **Outputs/Artifacts:** + - `src/mcpbridge_wrapper/broker/proxy.py` — web UI mismatch detection and warning +- **Acceptance Criteria:** + - [ ] When `--web-ui` is passed to proxy but running broker has no web UI, a warning is printed to stderr + - [ ] Warning text is actionable (tells user how to fix it) + - [ ] MCP session continues normally despite the warning + ### Bug Fixes #### ✅ BUG-T8: Fix broker proxy bridge exits after first write due to BaseProtocol missing _drain_helper From a6557f2f7ea73b8312325ff0dc363923366f8afa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Egor Merkushev Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2026 04:53:53 +0300 Subject: [PATCH 12/12] Sync WebUIDashboard.docc with webui-setup.md: add Make Commands section Add the missing 'Using Make Commands' subsection to WebUIDashboard.md to mirror the same section in docs/webui-setup.md.
